Student Scholarships

The Montana Association of Geographic Information Professionals (MAGIP) is pleased to offer student scholarships to the Intermountain GIS Conference. The scholarship covers the full registration fee for the conference. These scholarships are only available to undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in a two-year or four-year higher learning institution (state, private, or tribal).

In return, students will be expected to assist organizers with conference activities for 8-10 hours during the conference. A coordinator will assist and schedule students. Assistance is needed on Sunday afternoon/evening, April 3rd, prior to the start of the conference; on Tuesday evening, April 5th for public night; as well as each day throughout the conference.

All other costs such as travel, lodging, and workshop fees will remain the responsibility of the scholarship recipient. However, there are a limited number of $150 stipends available to offset travel expenses for those scholarship recipients who reside further than 100 miles of Great Falls which will be awarded on a first come-first served basis.
